Summary

The art history journey continues and our journey with Jackson Pollock begins! This series is going to be a complete rollercoaster. It begins with annoying naming conventions, separating your children into teams so they'll hate each other, tuberculosis, and withholding pie (aka love) to let people know you're mad. This story forces me to rant about Daniel Day Lewis, above-ground pools, and the not-so-cool ways America settled the West. I also discovered that I may have an unhealthy fear of horses. There's precious little art or art history in this episode. It's mostly death, mostly from tuberculosis. Saddle up! @artholespodcast [email protected]

0:00.0	All right, let's do this. Welcome to ArtHoles. My name is Michael Anthony, and this is the
0:14.0	podcast about art and art history with someone who has absolutely no authority to speak on these
0:18.2	topics. If you're just joining the show, welcome. Here's the deal. Not only do I have no background in any of this stuff, I would say I spent most of my entire life avoiding it.
0:28.0	And instead of learning in moderation, I am just going to go artist by artist, and we are going to learn a ton and hopefully have some fun along the way.
0:34.8	If you got the first series on Picasso's origin story, glad to have you back, you know exactly what you're getting into.
0:40.4	I do have a very minor clarification to make about something I said in the last episode about Gertrude Stein, but I will save that until the end of this episode for those of you who care.

0:53.6	Wow, this one is a roller coaster.
0:56.2	Jackson Pollack was another of those artists who I'd heard of his name but knew next to nothing
1:01.0	about.
1:01.6	And I'm from New York and I think I knew he was associated with New York somehow.
1:06.0	And I knew there was an Ed Harris movie back in, I think it was 2000.
1:10.0	I didn't see it, didn't care.
1:12.0	A teenage me was more interested in habitual masturbation and watching
1:15.6	Conair over and over again and an independent movie about art history didn't really fit into those
1:20.2	plans.
1:21.2	And it wasn't like a young teenager at that point either.
1:23.2	I was like 18.
1:24.2	It was very sad.
1:25.2	Before we start, I want to list my sources for Pollock's story.
1:28.7	This is not including the research for the weirdest sides.
